1ST WOKING BEER FESTIVAL
Woking Leisure Centre, TQ 007 578
Saturday 12 November 1994
As part of the centennial celebrations of Woking as a local borough council, Surrey/Hants Borders CAMRA joined forces with the council to put on this festival.
Mengo, of course, had to support one of its local festivals, so off we went. The leisure centre’s main hall proved to be an excellent venue for a beer festival and the Wurlitzer in the small hall added something different to the usual entertainment provided at these events.
And it was here that we tried one of the most truly horrendous beers ever to have touched our lips – Brewery on Sea’s Delhi Belly, flavoured with curry powder. Vile.
The festival, which is easily reached from all the branch area and beyond proved to be very successful from the start.

| Bateman's | Dark Mild | 3.0 |
| Brewery on Sea | Delhi Belly | 4.5 |
| Coach House | Gunpowder Mild | 3.8 |
